FAQ

What is your minimum age?

• Bushcraft is 8yrs. Though we do run special edition sessions which are for age 7yrs.

• Woodland Archery is 8yrs.

• Target Archery is 7yrs.

• Axe Throwing is 12yrs. 

• Combat Archery is 12yrs.

We strongly advise that children under the age of 12 are not booked in for more than 60mins unless part of a bigger group of at least 4 persons. This is to prevent injuries to developing muscles/tendons.

Younger children are welcome to spectate and be our safety marshals throughout.  The pathways are uneven, however buggies, pushchairs and wheelchairs can all easily get around.

What are the minimum/maximum numbers?

Our maximum is 40, and this is only available to groups that are happy to participate in three different activities. It will require careful planning and turn taking, however it is manageable as long as the length of session is realistic. We suggest a minimum of 2hrs.

For adult solo visitors we can offer spaces for most sessions. Please contact us direct with your preferred date and I can let you know availability. 

All our sessions are open to mixed groups, however if you would prefer a private session then get in touch. We can arrange exclusive use and an exclusive session. 

What do I bring with me? Can I spectate? Can I bring our dog?

Lighter layers of clothing are preferential, and feet must be enclosed in appropriate woodland walking type of footwear. 

Please remove scarves (or tuck them in securely), tie long hair back and remove (or tape over) larger facial piercings.

For Axe Throwing, hoods can sometimes get in the way so we may ask you to tuck them in.

Midgie repellent and sun cream are recommended in warmer weather.  And always bring a shower proof jacket!

Yes, you are very welcome to spectate, you will still be included in the safety briefing and we ask you to remain with the group. We also welcome dogs, however they must be kept on a short lead. Anything left by your dog must be picked up and taken away with you.

What safety equipment is provided?

For archery we provide an armguard, finger protectors, and a quiver. For Combat Archery we also provide full facial helmets (required) and optional chest protectors. 

Full Instruction is given before every session, and reminders of safety throughout by your instructor. 

This is a woodland though, and we cannot protect you from mother nature. So bring insect repellent, sunscreen and be prepared for slightly uneven paths.

What about bad weather?

Our sessions rely on good weather and we are quite lucky as the woods has it's own thing going. However on the rare occasion we cannot run a session due to : torrential rain, sleet, gale force winds, fog and thunder/lightening storms.  We will contact you as soon as possible using the mobile number you have given us. If we cannot find a mutually agreeable date to rebook then we will refund any money you have paid. 

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes. We certainly do!  The minimum age/numbers will still apply as will all other terms and conditions. Vouchers last for one year.

You can either purchase directly from our website, just head to the session you like and on the booking page it will ask if you would like vouchers.

Or I can email direct for you to print out, or be collected from the wood by arrangement or posted direct to the recipient (£p&p extra).
